About the Pictures:

These pictures are from our Culture Fest that we held on March 14, 2017 here at Spring Creek Elementary. This was a fun filled evening full of art exhibits as well as students’ performances. The arts and crafts and crafts were made by our students who are involved in Eagle Academy. Parents and students were able to take gallery walk and enjoy a snack after the performances.
